Self- government is certainly a boon to the latter. For the student it accomplishes more than its friends claimed for it when it was First adopted. Perhaps it has something to do with the slightly more serious and self-reliant tone which one seems to sense in the student body. Barring one or two disagreeable incidents, which probably should be called accidents, student life has been, the past year, in a peculiarly happy and wholesome key. There was a time not so very long ago when a jeering and cynical spirit seemed altogether too pre- valent in the undergraduate body. Those were the days of the knockers ,-and of unsuccess. At present we are almost danger- ously successful especially in matters ath- letic. However, a little prosperity will not do us any harm. The College of Letters and Science Dean E. A. Birge f HE organization of the Uni- Q versity has been changed several times since it was first established, and these changes have altered the name and extent of that part of the institution now known as the College of Letters and Science. Yet the real nature and po- sition of the college have been but little modified. It constituted practically the whole of the University until the establish- ment of the Law School. From it were de- veloped the courses which later grew into the Colleges of Agriculture, Engineering and Medicine. The central aim and purpose of the College has been to give its students a liberal educa- tion, in the sense in which that term is used by the English-speaking peoples-an educa- tion which introduces the student to the learning that the race has achieved, which gives him the qualifications necessary to enter the intellectual life, which 'prepares him to take part in the advancement of p 1 learning, and which gives him a peculiar fitness for the study of one of the learned professions. At first the work of the college was limited to the traditional learning-the humanities, in the older sense, language and letters, mathematics and philosophy being central studies. Forty years ago its work was en- larged but its aims were hardly changed by the introduction and the great development of the sciences and the modern languages. In the later years of the nineteenth century profound social and educational changes oc- curred, which very greatly modified the work of the college, and whose effects are yet to be fully realized. These have come from a rapidly increasing sense of the com- plexity of social problems and of the conse- quent skill and training necessary for those who are to handle them. With this belief have also come the need of a place for new professions and for a broader training for the old ones. As a result, the life of the College and that of the community now interlock in many ways unknown a genera- tion ago. Its work is correspondingly modi- fied. From a relatively simple, coherent task, marked out in large part by tradition, it has passed to a congeries of services very diverse and existing in very various grades of development. The College now gives both general and special preparation to lit students of law and medicine. It gives professional train- ing in many departments of graduate study and research. It furnishes to under-graduates professional or semi-professional training for teaching in various lines, in preparation for business, for work as chemist, and in other directions. Still more, the vast increase of attention to social and economic problems, to history and politics, in their wider sense, during the last twenty-five years resulted in a corresponding development of those de- partments which consider these problems, in the attention given to them by students, and in the relation between the public life of state and nation with these departments and their students. Probably no other single element of change has so deeply af- fected the College as has this one. Thus the College of Letters and Science is a place of intellectual changes so rapid and so great as to deserve the name of revo- H , f I ' .ITN 'ff ff, - ,, ., X, , .
